Out of intrest you don't have a OSS sound driver running do you? What dev entries do you have related to sound what does ls /dev/sound/ or /dev/snd/ show you and do you have any /dev/dsp /dev/dsp1 etc entries. If you do have a /dev/dsp what does "cat somewavefile.wav > /dev/dsp" do (in fact you can use any file it just makes a horrible noise". -- Robin Cornelius http://www.byteme.org.uk -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
